101: Jim Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

"The thing about Jim, is when he’s excited about something, like the Office Olympics, he gets really into it and he does a really great job. But the problem with Jim is that he works here, so that hardly ever happens."

This week’s episode is dedicated to Big Tuna, Jim/James/Jimothy, basically Gumby with hair, Jim Halpert. We start by talking about his function in the show, how he provides exposition through talking heads and acts as an audience surrogate by breaking the fourth wall. Then we look at his professional and romantic arc, followed his relationships with Pam, Michael, Dwight, and corporate. And of course we highlight all the teapot notes, Dwight pranks, arrogance/smudgeness, and looks to the camera along the way.

After that, we go to our Ordinary Things segment, where we discuss times we were too early for something, like Michael interviewing at corporate, and then we close with a quick round of trivia.

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

99: Office Olympics Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

“Every so often, Jim dies of boredom. I think today it was the expense reports that did him in. And our deal is that it’s up to me to revive him.”

How do you escape the doldrums and ennui of the office? If you’re Michael Scott and Dwight go to sign the papers on the condo where your grandkids will someday learn to walk. If you’re Jim and Pam, you host the inaugural Office Olympics. We dedicate our episode to this episode, discussing all of the cathedral ceilings, flonkerton races, and carpenter ants that make up this epsiode. In the conference room this week we talk about Brian Baumgartner’s new podcast that compiles the interviews from An Oral History of The Office, have a quick ‘Actually’ moment, and react to John Krasinski’s SNL Office theme.

Then we debut a new segment where we talk about our own lives called Ordinary Things. It smells like cookies. Yes it does, my friend. Yes it does.

98: Robert California Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

“You see, I sit across from a man, I see his face, I see his eyes. Now, does it matter if he wants a hundred dollars of paper, or a hundred million dollars of deep-sea drilling equipment? Don’t be a fool. He wants respect, he wants love, he wants to be younger, he wants to be attractive. There is no such thing as a product. Don’t ever think there is. There is only sex. Everything is sex. You understand that what I’m telling you is a universal truth, Toby.”

He’s the CEO, he’s Bob Kazamakis, he’s the f*cking Lizard King. We dedicate this episode to Robert California, one of the most unique characters in The Office and a defining figure of season 8. We go through all the pool parties, one-man saturnalias, and nature metaphors that comprise Robert’s time on the show. The man speaks of nothing but sex! Well, that’s not true, sometimes he talks about flesh…and bacchanals.

After that we head to the conference room for a new segment where we correct errors on the show. Then we discuss which Office images we’d want as jigsaw puzzles before wrapping with another round of trivia.

96: The Tag Draft Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

The tag at the end of episodes provides some of the most iconic and memorable jokes and moments from the series. And in the proud tradition of draft episodes, we are excited to share the MSPC Tag Draft! We draft tags from the entirety of The Office to discuss our favorite closing moments, including talking heads, Jim/Dwight pranks, and that time Stanley finds watermelon all over his car from Michael’s safety tests.

In the conference room we go through possibilities of what Dwight’s Treasure could be, and then we close with a trivia challenge focused on the different branches of the Dunder Mifflin tree.

95: Michael in Season 7 Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

"The people that you work with, are just, when you get down to it, your very best friends. They say, on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will. Gotta be a lot better than a deathbed."

We focus on Michael in season 7, highlighting his personal growth, his relationship with Holly, and that herpes scare that ended up being an ingrown hair.

Then we head to the conference room and brainstorm wine pairings for different Office characters. We are Bacchus, god of wine, and you are all Bacchus’ friends.

94: Charles Miner Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

“Imagine…someone has a personal hero they really wanna help. But then there’s this new guy. Very cool, very Will Smith-esque, who would not like it if he helped his hero.”

This week’s episode covers the brief but impactful arc of Charles Minor on Dunder Mifflin Scranton We look at how his friction with Michael, his parking lot soccer games, and company picnic volleyball spikes. And yes, we’re of the effect he has on women.

After that we meet in the conference room to discuss first impressions of The Office on Peacock and close with some listener-submitted trivia. In the words of Charles Minor: “I can’t wait!"

93: The Fight + The Duel (a.k.a. Dwight Club) Jan 01, 2021

Show notes

"I’m friends with everybody in this office. We’re all best friends – I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren’t dentist appointments. And that’s when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up."

This week we look at season 2’s ’The Fight’ and season 5’s 'The Dual’, two Scranton showdowns featuring Dwight. We compare the two episodes and confrontations, highlighting all the purple belts, hidden weapons, and Michael Scott business tips as we do.

Then we take some voicemails in the conference room, answer some listener submitted trivia, and say goodbye to The Office on Netflix to wrap up 2020.

92: Dwight Christmas Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

Cheer or fear? Belsnickel is here! Has your year been impish or admirable?

We hereby dedicate this episode to season 9’s ‘Dwight Christmas’, a vision of an austere, Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas. So drink some gluhwein, enjoy some hasenpfeffer, and enjoy Christmas with saint Nicolas’ rural German companion, Belsnickel.

Then we assemble in the conference room for some end-of-year quarantine picks before wrapping up with another classic round of trivia.
